John 19:29-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁹ A jar filled with sour wine was standing nearby, so they soaked a sponge in the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it up to his lips. ³⁰ When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.”^[a] Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

³¹ The Blood and the Water. It was the day of Preparation, and the Jews did not want to have the bodies remain on the cross on the Sabbath, especially since that Sabbath day was a great solemnity. Therefore, they requested Pilate to order that their legs be broken and the bodies taken down.
